Back to the listingPerinatal Mental Health: A Public Health Imperative for Families and Communities
Provider: National Board of Public Health Examiners
Description: Perinatal Mental Health encompasses the emotional well-being of birthing people during pregnancy through the first year after birth. It is a critical yet often overlooked determinant of lifelong health for parents, infants, and families. Depression, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders during this period are among the most common complications of pregnancy, affecting as many as one in five individuals, yet remain underdiagnosed and under treated. This presentation explores perinatal mental health through a public health lens, providing education on what perinatal mental health is and its implications for maternal and child health outcomes, health equity, and family wellbeing.
This session will examine perinatal mental health and how factors such as access to care and social determinants of health shape perinatal mental health outcomes. Participants will gain insight into strategies that promote resilience, early detection, and community-based supports as well as approaches that can help integrate mental health into existing maternal and child health systems.
Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of perinatal mental health from a clinical perspective, but also why it is a public health priority and how collaboration can help ensure better outcomes for birthing people, families, and communities.
